Trading Game

This seems fun! Gonna follow this...

 

[Turbinator]

Fair enough Eds, give it a think.

Also, Somers, what will it take for you to give me Steyn?

 

[Hurricane]

Will trade Gayle if Im able to get a better batting lineup, but looks tough atm..

From the look of the last tour - you could either use an opener or a middle order bat.

I would like to say though that he shouldn't come at full price because your board is refusing to play him. Therefore how about McCullum straight up for him.

 

[Hurricane]

Depends on the quality of player your willing to offer. My biggest problem atm is the tendency for my batting order to collapse. Any of Trott, Pietersen, Cook or Bell would be ideal. Would also consider Prior.

Vettori has lots of experience stopping collapses.

 

[Hurricane]

Anyone with a lower standard side - I've got the likes of Shah, Bopara, Panesar, Patel etc. who I'm willing to trade. Maybe a bundle trade for one of your better players? Ganeshran? NUFAN? Athlai?

I am willing to trade any of my FC players for one of your back up wicketkeepers neither of whom will make your top 14.

Depending on what the squad of 14 is based on, I could be up for this. If the three backup players are there in order to best cover as many positions as possible, then I'd take a batsman, wicket-keeper and bowler. If it's just based on player quality, then I'd just take the best three players, obviously. Care to shed some light on this?

 

[Hurricane]

Your playing XI needs to be a balanced side. Your top 14 should be a regular squad that you would take on tour - so you may well want a back up keeper.

That said you have two good back up keepers and you can't put both in your 14. How do you rank your keepers for England?

Alright, cheers. I'll take a backup keeper then. Don't have a strong feeling either way in Davies vs Bairstow so am welcome to offers for either.

Will give you Andre Adams who has a bowling avg in the low twenties and would make good trade bait for NUFAN and will throw in my fastest bowler Adam Milne who can bowl 150kms.

Interested in Davies.

Not sure either would make my 14 rendering the trade useless for me.

Only interested in those that would make it.

Pieces of a jigsaw puzzle mate - you can put them into a massive package deal for a Bangers star player. Plus you have 7 trades up your sleeve.

(I don't really have anyone that will make your top 14 apart from Vettori and I don't even know if he would get in there.)

Taylor/Ryder and Vettori would definitely be in contention.

You interested in Bairstow at all? Would do Adams + another reasonable player, for him.

@eds

Package deal

Vettori and Adams

for

Katich, Davies, and someone else I can use (make me an offer),

 

[NUFAN]

Athlai - Mahmudullah for Angelo Matthews?

Interested in Vettori and Adams individually, but not together. Getting Vettori would defeat the point of me going for Adams (ie. to attempt to get a decent trade together for Shakib). Also, I don't fancy getting rid of Katich, tbh.

Adams + someone = Bairstow

works for me, though.

 

[Eds]

Meanwhile, NUFAN, what sort of offer would you be looking for, for Shakib?

 

[Blakus]

@ Howe_zat. Not to sure about Hafeez. Would you be willing to trade Azhar Ali?

@Athlai. I'm willing to give you any one of Siddle, Johnson or Cummins for Matthews

@Turbs. Just wondering, is there anyone in my team you'd like for Gambhir?

 

[NUFAN]

As persuasive as you are, I'm not sure.

Considering making an offer of Broad/Tremlett/Bresnan for him, but not sure if it would benefit my squad, considering I've already offloaded Finn (who would've come in to the squad if I did this trade). Will have a think about it and get back to you tomorrow.

Eds. I understand you probably want Shakib Al Hasan as he might be ideal to fill that number 6 or 7 role for your team ahead of Morgan.

I would trade you my star Shakib for: Tremlett, Bopara and Onions too.

Indeed I am interested in Shakib, but definitely would need to be less than that. All of the above in serious contention for the squad. Definitely would need a better offer than that.

 

[NUFAN]

Hurricane, what's your teams problem area? Opening bat I suppose?

I'll trade you Tamim for which ever bowler you rate worse out of Martin, Southee, Bracewell and Boult PLUS a middle order bat that isn't likely to make your team (Ryder, Guptill, Williamson, Brownlie)..
